that our

our homes as well as the exterior structure. If anyone has any questions about the coverages on our policy,

Orv
will talk with Concierge, with whom we have our current contract for lawn and
snow care
service about next year.
6. Maintenance Plan and Need for Development:
It
was noted that we have areas around our homes which will need attention soon,
such
as painting around doors and decks. Orv will call a meeting of the existing
Maintenance
Committee to prioritize the list of things that need to be done.
7. Proposed
Rules and Regulations:
Dick
Merrill was asked at the last Annual Meeting to work with a committee to
possibly
establish Rules and Regulations for our sub-association. He submitted a
plan
with some thoughts typically used by sub-associations for the Board to
review.
The Board will review the plan and look for conflicts and/or omissions and
then
meet with Dick in April.

Site:
A
Web Site is being developed for our Masters Association by Orv and Fred
Kunze.
It is a work in progress and will be available to us in the Spring.
9. Concrete
Update:
The
Board continues to communicate with Gary Gorham concerning the conditions
that
may have caused and still affect the 4 driveways with the most significant
crack
issues. Those 4 are the following addresses:
2313
Lehman Lane
2325
Lehman Lane
2355
Lehman Lane
2381
Lehman Lane
Arranging
a meeting among Gorham, Sienna Corp., Braun Intertec and the Masters
Association
is ongoing with a target date of sometime in May when Gorham returns
from
his winter home. The agenda of such a meeting is to discuss the possibility of
soil
conditions being the primary cause of the instability, how
to confirm that and what
actions
can be taken to correct the condition.
Other
concrete issues involving patios step platforms will need to be dealt with
separately
with the Association needing to get these corrected during the summer 2006.
10. Resturcture Proposal:
Existing
Bylaws Provisions:
1.
The Board of Directors has the right to set a different date for the Annual
Meeting
other than on the anniversary of the first meeting. (Art.II, sec.2)
2.
The Board of Directors shall be composed ot three members (Art. III,
sec.1)

Proposal:
1. Change Board terms to three years as

term of one current director for a third year. This is to apply to one of the
two directors whose term would otherwise expire at the Annual Meeting.

January in each year at a time and place to be announced.
